Stonewall is such a cataclysmic disaster of a film that I'm surprised nobody has called FEMA yet to help with all the damage it's done to the GLBTQ+ community.September 25, 2015
There may be a good movie to be made about the Stonewall riots, which triggered much of the gay power movement in 1970, but "Stonewall" isn't it.September 25, 2015
Although handsomely crafted, well-acted and made with transparently noble intentions, Roland Emmerich's "Stonewall" is a movie that seems destined to please almost no one.September 30, 2015
Despite the volatile subject matter, Stonewall is a rather bland rendering.December 04, 2015
Compared to a genuinely rousing gay-rights historical drama like Milk (2008), Stonewall falls considerably short.November 10, 2016
...the execution is wholly wrong-headed.September 28, 2015
The Stonewall Riots were a triumph for a marginalized community, but Emmerich fails to convey the significance of the event in any meaningful fashion. The subject matter deserves better, and so do we.October 02, 2015
Disappointing gay-rights drama has sex, language, violence.September 25, 2015
It's a self-financed passion project, from a man who might be the most financially successful out gay filmmaker ever. We should be celebrating this, but man, oh man, does he make it difficult.September 25, 2015
Danny isn't all that interesting. And the sadder fact is that the filmmakers seem to know that, but worry an audience won't identify with a more flamboyant character. So they present this safer, paler alternative.November 10, 2015
Stonewall is a movie about a pivotal moment in LGBT history as filtered through the perspective of a fictional hunk of Wonder Bread named Danny who steps off a bus from Indiana and right into a central role in the Christopher Street scene.December 29, 2016
It's a good time to see Stonewall, if only to confirm the fragility of human rights and how far society has come, at least within the LGBT community.
